Pros (+) loved the location, staff were all excellent, loved the history and ambience of the hotel
Cons (-) Our room had no AC and the unit they brought in worked poorly. Management gave us 2 breakfast free fro our inconvenience, but hat was a poor response .

Pros (+) stunning location and premises
Pros (+) This hotel is amazing in all Aspects
Pros (+) This was our first time staying at the fairmont and to be honest we were a little apprehensive. From valet to door to door service it was amazing. The kids loved being in a castle.

Pros (+) The grounds of the hotel are stunning! In a picturesque location and the outside of the building is fantastic!
